HMC543LC4B v00.0107 22.5° MMIC 4-BIT DIGITAL PHASE SHIFTER, 8 - 12 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC543LC4B is ideal for: Low RMS Phase Error: 5° • EW Receivers Low Insertion Loss: 6.5 dB 7 • Weather & Military Radar Excellent Flatness 360° Coverage, LSB = 22.5° • Satellite Communications 24 Lead Ceramic SMT Package: 16mm2 • Beamforming Modules T M S Functional Diagram General Description - S The HMC543LC4B is a 4-bit digital phase shifter R which is rated from 8 to 12 GHz, providing 0 to 360 E degrees of phase coverage, with a LSB of 22.5 T degrees. The HMC543LC4B features very low F I RMS phase error of 5 degrees and extremely low H insertion loss variation of ±0.8 dB across all phase S states. This high accuracy phase shifter is controlled E with complementary logic of 0/-3V, and requires no S fi xed bias voltage. The HMC543LC4B is housed in A a compact 4x4 mm ceramic leadless SMT package H and is internally matched to 50 Ohms with no external P components. Simple external level shifting circuitry can be used to convert a positive CMOS control voltage into complementary negative control signals.
